Adventures and doodles!

Almost everyone knows, I accidentally killed my knee on Monday – one day before Nationals, so i didn’t compete! Second time, Coach is feeling guilty, but it wasn’t even one bit his fault.

We got every single Silver (team and individual) possible, and an individual bronze! It was most probably the first Nationals I experienced where medals really didn’t matter and we’re just really really proud of ourselves for doing so well especially after so much drama with the school and all that stress and everyone crying from me getting injured (glares at jeanne ) Coach had a really big headache, so he couldn’t stay for prize presentation. Aye, maybe (hackneyed as this sounds) Silver may just be the new Gold! Everyone must really think I’m harbouring some evil scary thoughts of suicide in my head because it’s my second year not competing! I guess I’ve been so used to getting injured right before Nationals, I just didn’t feel the pinch. I’ve also been so busy with everything, and OM was really a big big big reprieve for me. Or at least this is how I feel right now! We’ll see what this evolves into.

I feel like a big proud Mama, because the juniors did really well! and dear SMALL WOMAN got individual Gold, AHHHHH! Julia’s super cute. I think B div did well too! Even though I might want to stab Jeanne for not jumping high and not tightening up for Back Sommer. But ahhh, we’re finally done with B Div, I shall just bid tramp good bye because a certain Someone with the Alias Meangreenbean said.

I quote:
“You got injured one month before competition last year. This year you get injured one day before competition. Wah, next year you might just get injured ONE HOUR BEFORE COMPETITION.”

So there!
Anyway, words from the wise one (ME!) after today’s harrowing morning.
Keep away from Prematurely Menopausing Women because sometimes they just scold you because they hate their (I QUOTE AGAIN)”SHIT JOB” and they do not get their message across and think that the nicest person in the world who has been helping me (saddistically) ice my knee every morning has an attitude problem. I didn’t know where I mustered all the courage up from to even say, “then they are just ignorant.” when she asked, “how would outsiders feel if they saw you four like that?” FYI, today, it drizzled. Hence there wasn’t morning assembly, but I still had to ice my knee anyways. Mrs Chua announced pledge taking would start at 7.35 but the music started at 7.30. FYI ICING MY KNEE AND RUSHING TO ANYHOW BANDAGE MY KNEE AND ATTEMPTING TO WALK REALLY FAST TO CLASS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. Ah, plebs have it hard. I’ve never met someone so self centred before, and releasing all her anguish and rage on US. No prizes for guessing who. Anyways, she stormed off. I was crying because I wanted to walk away and I’ve never rebuked back to a teacher before and she was just being mean. Ha, but inside, I just didn’t bother feeling one bit sorry for her hating her job. Oh, I do not pay attention to people who mangle english asunder. That’s why I never pay attention to myself. But I’ve nothing to say to you, I am a plebian. No, the higher authorities are not going to hear me roar. After all, it is not our fault you are not appreciated. As if the polish loved Hitler. (rolls eyes)

(I’m treading on ice here)

Other than Witler on the loose, today was filled with inanities and hilarious moments. We looked back on all our Math teachers during lunch and Geography lessons had me in tears (from laughing)

Mr Khong: You know, Wind Turbine!
Geraldine: Harh? You mean the Sikh thing? (Does a swirley motion above head)
Felicia: OMG GERALDINE, NOT TURBAN. TURBINEEE!!

Mr Khong: You need a solar panel the size of your thumb which can generate electricity to power 20 classrooms!
Karen: But this stupid lizard may just sun tan across your Solar Panel and you’ll get a black out!! Imagine Bird Droppings then?

Ah, I love life for the way it is. Exciting and ludicrous at the same time.

Did I mention I met Ang Jiacong during OM Nationals and Tramp Nationals! We are both lame, crippled, walk with a limp and can’t bend our right knees. Ah, the power of being besties and sharing so many things in common (too many I guess). We’re both afraid that when we go to JC, we may turn into total girlies with short skirts and all. ):
We are weird, aren’t we.

secretly planning a putsch to overthrow tyrannical higher authorities.

Pictures, when I have time.
Oh, and THANKYOU SJI FOR THE BUNCHA FLOWERS and everyone else for the COMPS PRESENTS EVEN THOUGH I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO BUY (especially after getting injured) BUT I’VE GOT ANOTHER IDEA IN MIND! just wait till june when everything I have gets settled! Promise!

I have to admit, I never knew. But I am strong, and I can take crippling responsiblity on my broad shoulders. Indeed, yet again I’ve grown. Yes I am strong, and i will fight on. I’ll miss the juniors, I’ll miss having fun everyday. But I have to settle down.

Praise God!

“I just read Jeannes April 16 post and i started crying again. Grah im such a cry baby.
AHHHHHH why does misfortune always happen to Jiayi. she overcame her fear. she worked so hard. she endured so much just for april 18. But just 2 days before it had to happen. AHHHH i feel so guilty. for being so knee-healthy and getting a chance to go up onto the comps tramp, but yet not working as hard as i should, not realising how lucky i am. arghhhhh. Sometimes i wonder how jiayi can have so much greatness inside her body, how shes such a impossible superwoman, performing all her miracles and blessing us. Arghhhhh whys life so unfair to her =[”

Life isn’t unfair dear junior, and I’m not super woman! I won OM, double champions was enough. God said it was enough, now it’s enough. So there!

Thank you JIAYI! for being the ultimate best captain! for always shielding us xiaodes, and always reminding us to be sensible 14/15 year olds. Thank you for being so great and POWER! Being the superwoman that carries all the stress silently. I always wonder how there can be so much greatness inside someone. especially when you came into this world merely 4 months ahead of me. i feel lousy heh. Im gonna miss you so much…. JIAYOU FOR YOUR STUDIES JIAYI!!!!!! dont forget to smile!!

Flattered, THANK YOU JUNIOR. I don’t feel in any way short changed. Instead, I’m very very very proud of how you handle everything, and how you’re always that trusty junior I can count on! Inside I’ll always know I’ll be leaving the gym in good hands, I just have to settle a few problems!

oh and I’m proud of everyone. Because we all thought we couldn’t live through and guess what. WE DID!

Hush now, for all we have to do now is to await the sun rise.
